How do you check memory status?

I do not work for HumanWare because I'm a high school student, and I'm not an engineer for them either, although my ambition is to become one (computer scientist or information technology specialist). The reason why I know many technical stuff is that I usually search online. Also, I usually do my own investigation, such as: 1. I have tweaked my braille display when something went wrong. 2. I've read the User Guides for all of the units throughly. 3. Received information from help messages. Listened to various product demonstrations, tutorials, a alike. 5. Have occasionally corresponded with some HumanWare staf, including Jonathan Mosen, Jonathan Sharp, Andrew Riden, late Dean Jackson, and Kate Dasler, especially Andrew. 6. If there is some kind of software problem, I first check the memory amount to see if it is related to memory management (that is why I have told Vicky that she should check the memory status regularly back when she and others had download problem with 7.0). So far, I've figured out the following: 1. Actually, under the braille display, there is a spring that controls touch cursor keys. If one of the cursor key does not work, probably the srping is damaged. 2. The reason why you cannot use other programs when Wloquence is active is that Eloquence tend to eat (use) more memory than KeyNote Gold (about 1.5 to 2 MB of RAM is used). 3. There is an easy way to figure out when the battery doesn't charge on the mPower: between the USB client port and the CF slot, you'll notice that there is a space. Behind that space is the actual battery comparment. While you are charging, if you put one or two fingers on that space, you'll notice that it gets hot. When you check the power status and notices that the battery has stopped charging in the middle, check this space. You'll feel that it is extremely hot. Disconnect the power adapter for 3 to 5 minutes, and the temperature will go down somewhat. Then it will restart charing. I would recommend that you charge your unit while it is powered up. 4. In fact, you can upgrade your BN from the boot menu. When you installed the product key, insert the SD card. Hold down dots 4-6 a dn press Reset switch. Hold down dots 4-6 (JL) until unit makes a sound. You've entered Update Menu. The options are: 1. Upgrade KeySoft: this is what you want to choose (same effect as dots 4-5 (JK) reset. 2. Update bootloader: useful for an OS upgrade. 3. Debug mode: I don't know why it is there. 4. Start KeySoft: this is equavelent to pressing Reset. If you wish to get out of boot menu, select this option, or press Reset. Yoou can only use space to move forward the menu. 5. In fact, with Eloquence, you can change the alarm sounds. These are named keysoft alarm1.wav and keysoft alarm2.wav. Copy two wav file to Windows folder on the KeySoft disk and rename each to keysoft alarm1 and keysoft alarm2. I hope this post might give you some information that is valuable to you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mary Ellen Earls Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 9:58 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] To Joseph Lee: Hay Joseph! Do you work for human? You seem to know so much about the products and their inner workings I was just wondering if you are an engineer for them? Just curious.
